Jefferson Parish is inviting residents to influence how resources are used in their community. Two surveys—one devoted to overall service enhancements and another centered on the Head Start program—are available until October 17, 2025.

The Trump administration has announced a new policy barring immigrants without legal status from enrolling in Head Start, the federally funded preschool program. This move could significantly impact educational opportunities for many children across the nation.

Premont families are invited to a free enrollment event at the Amanda Cardenas Pre-K Academy, marking a significant opportunity for early childhood education in the community.

In a surprising turn, the Trump administration has decided to maintain funding for Head Start, ensuring that vital early education services for the nation’s poorest preschoolers will continue. The reversal from an earlier proposal to eliminate the program’s funding brings relief to communities relying on its services.
